As you may have guessed, this is the profile of the self-proclaimed (ahem) author Glorious Clio. I used to be Midget in High Heels, sorry for any confusion that this may cause.

Update: I'm currently looking for a Pushing Daisies beta reader, so if you are interested, please drop me a line!

So, I never really know what to put here, except trivial things. I don't want you to track me down, after all. But... I've just graduated from an all women's college in Minnesota, with a major in history. I took a year off, and I'm now working towards my master's in Library Science. This might actually kill me. My icon refers to Clio, the Muse and proclaimer of History. She's often depicted with an open scroll or next to a stack of books.

I have also published work with my good friend Matriaya. Our co-pen name is TwoTruePairing, where you can check out a Robin Hood fic we wrote. Our second collaboration is actually a Marauder-centric, Harry Potter story, called Defiance. So feel free to leave some love over there!

Anyway, enjoy! And feel free to leave me a little review. They are my absolute favorites. I'll try and return the favor, but I can't make any promises. I have a full time job, an internship, and I'm going to school; quite frankly, I only have about 30 minutes (usually less) a day to devote to fanfiction. Just ask yourself one question: would you rather have Clio reading or writing? Don't answer that. I may have more time after the holidays, but we'll see.

Draw Your ThreadsMarian drabble… no real pairing. Missing scene of "A Clue, No" season 1, episode 13. "From the manner in which a woman draws her thread at every stitch of her needlework, any other woman can surmise her thoughts." Honore de Balzac T for adult themes. This was the first Robin Hood story I ever wrote. 2007. Seems so long ago! (It was.)

Birds of a Feather Set the day after "A Clue: No," somewhat of a sequel to "Dreaming Through the Darkness." Djaq has a wound to tend to, and an unlikely friendship blossoms.I really ended up loving this story. I mostly write 'teh fluff', but I got the idea for this, and though I had some difficulty writing it, I'm really proud of it. Marian and Djaq - they have so many differences, but they are the only women on the show (apart from Eve) (I ignore series three, remember?) and they have virtually no scenes together. Yet they act as wonderful foils to each other! I had to make them friends. I love their theological discourse, and I love that they kinda gang up on Robin in the beginning. I also love that Djaq understands Marian's reasons not to live in the forest. Anyway, just read the thing. I'll wax poetically in my response to your review.

Missale Romanum A random Sunday in Nottingham... set before the season two finale, no spoilers for anything. Promise. Robin drabble, slight RobinMarian.

Taking Wing Marian escapes from Nottingham Castle, for just a little bit. Written as a response to prompt four on the "day by drabble" community on livejournal. It's not very long, though longer than a normal drabble.

The Good Bit Set after 2x06 "For England" A little bit of Robin Marian Hurt/Comfort fluff for us all to enjoy. Written for Neftzer for being a fantastic beta (go read her stories. Right now).

Lost and Found Set after 2x07. The gang reflects on their losses thus far. Have they even gained anything?

From here on in, it's a bit "chose your own adventure": post-Walkabout rewrite (A Year and a Day) or "end of series two" rewrite ("Husbanding England" universe).

Husbanding EnglandA story that rewrites the last few minutes of the series two finale, ignoring canon and introducing historical accuracy. For once. I am insanely proud of this story, and flattered at the feedback it's gotten. Encouraged by your lovely reviews, I (you lovely readers, really) have spawned several stories in this continued AU.

Silent Night Will and Djaq celebrate a Christian holiday in their own way. This will probably be the only outright Will/Djaq story you'll ever get in this 'verse. They are exceedingly difficult to write, just to the sheer fact that they are from radically different worlds and cultures. If you want more Will/Djaq, you're going to have to talk to Matriaya.

Another Edward The story of Robin and Marian's third child. WARNING- childhood death.

Locksley's Work is Never Done The long-awaited sequel! Haha. Set 21 years after “Husbanding England.” Robin, Marian, Much and the rest of the gang have moved on with their lives. They’ve settled down, had children, and restored peace and stability to Nottingham. But what happens when King John conspires against this tranquility?A brief note about this story: once again, this is an attempt to introduce some historical accuracy, this time to the Russell Crowe version of Robin Hood. The problem with being a history buff is every time you watch a historical drama, you usually get to the end and say, "You broke it!" I'm all for bending a few timelines for the sake of a good narrative (See: The Lion in Winter, Glorious 39), but really. That version of Robin Hood gets an F because it wasn't even good. Read this story instead. Bonus - no Russell Crowe.

Beltane I wrote a smutty PWP, okay? Forgive me, but I wrote it in my head in church. Oops.

The "Fab Four Challenge": Matriaya gave me five Beatle songs and challenged me to write fic to them. So song fic warning... I just love the Beatles and Robin Hood. Two are Robin/Marian, two are Will/Djaq, and the smutty one is whomever you wish (in my case... more Robin/Marian). Take pity on the smut one... it's the first (and only) "bedroom scene" I've ever written that's not fade to black. So... I think it sucks, but whatever. Without further ado, and in chronological order:

I also want to take a minute to address the issue of copyright (so scary). I've done a fair bit of homework on this subject and how it pertains to fanfiction. Everything written here comes under what is called fair use. 1) The purpose of these stories is to question the content of the original text, add in new story lines, and create new adventures. Never for profit. 2) The nature of the work falls somewhere between "love letter" and "parody" (if parody is defined as work that comments upon and criticizes another by appropriating elements of the original). 3) The amount of the original work is kept as minimal as possible, usually limited to setting and characters (though I do sometimes use direct dialogue, normally in italics). 4) The effect my stories have on the market of the original text is nil. The communities I write for have no new content coming out. I could not take away from this market - if anything, I am generating more interest in that market.That said, anything that is not copyrighted by the original text, I claim copyright to. Not that I can or would charge you, but you cannot republish or repost my work. Do not use my original characters without my permission. But you guys wouldn't do that, would you? No, I didn't think so.

One final note: being "favorite'd" is very, very nice. But (did I mention?) I love reviews best of all!

Usagi Tsukino has a painful romantic past and unsure future - but one thing she knows is she wants Chibi-Usa to be born. To make sure that happens, she'll have to confront her heartbreak and spend the night with the man who still haunts her dreams - her only love ... and the reason for her heartbreak. Updated every Friday.

Final of four. The Don't Series. "For whatsoever from one place doth fall/Is with the tide unto another brought/For there is nothing lost, that may be found, if sought." Losing someone you love is never easily done. Nor is getting them back again. See Story #1 in the Don't Series: Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree.

Beryl is defeated and the senshi have lost their memory of each other. So why does Rei keep having this feeling that these random girls are important to her somehow? And what does she do about it? Well - what would YOU do?

NOW COMPLETE. In which is addressed a thing or two about loyalty, unexpected visitors arrive to the Channel Islands, Kommandant Vaiser is discomfited, Geis betrays and is betrayed, and Marion lives to fight another day. #3 of 4.

NOW COMPLETE. Some legends and some relationships are timeless. Read if you miss Robin & Marian being together, if you like Robin & Marian, or even if you just really like Marian. Set well outside/beyond the series. #1 of 4. Will work as a standalone if you cannot commit to the entire fic series.

COMPLETE Set during a time - probably brief - when Robin is not having issues over the fact that Marian is the Nightwatchman. On an important occassion a young troubadour is sent to serenade a certain lady at Nottingham Castle.

Mild Spoilers Series 2 Ratings: Ch. 1-2 T Ch. 3-4 M . Marian was certain that there was no ground beneath her, only space into which she would fall deeper and deeper if not for his hands supporting her and his body calling her name...

Will and Djaq see the same things when they look at each other: talented hands, keen minds, and unwavering passion. They both think themselves unworthy, but one day when words fly out of Djaq's mouth, they discover a new side to each other and themselves.

It is amazing, Djaq reflects, how quickly he can go from being Will the fierce warrior to being Will the gentle carpenter. He is truly a contradiction in terms. WillDjaq. My contrabution to the Christmas ficathon. Merry Christmas!

The instant’s pause before a death blow emptied him of everything but the man he was to strike. Because Richard Armitage is brilliant: Guy of Gisborne, Marian Fitzwalter. Set during a moment of confrontation in 2x11: Companion pieces: Weapon and True Lady

Scarlet. The silken petals laughed and shook in his hands. He laid them down.As the Fool writes a message and prepares to put on a show for a village, words are called to his mind and each brings their own reflection. [spoilers 2.09][oneshot]

I read the news today, oh boy... Andromeda remembered everything about those days, and memories were all she had left. She only wanted more time, time with those who mattered, but now that time was gone. Post Deathly Hallows, Andromeda character study.

It's amazing how much you miss a wand when you don't have one. Bellatrix worries about how she will serve her Lord without one, but a solution comes from an unlikely source. Oneshot. Mild RodolphusBellatrix.

Set a few weeks after the opening of Deathly Hallows, this story details the attack against Arabella Figg, who in book 5 revealed herself to be sympathetic to the Order. Someone would have wanted her to pay. I like to think she wouldn't have made it easy.

DH Spoilers Her body doesn’t feel like it fits with his the way it used to, he doesn’t know how to kiss her with that bump there, his chest is too thin, and he’s trembling, and he can’t do this. Remus comes home. RLNT

One shot, post DH. Mrs. Weasley and Ginny bring a bit of entertainment to the dinner table at the traditional Weasley family dinner as they fight over the usual thing: When will Ginny end the anticipation and have baby Potter?

Pride and Prejudice One Shot: We all know how Lady Catherine felt about Darcy and Elizabeth's marriage, but will she ever come around? Maybe when she realizes that she and Elizabeth are not as dissimilar as she thinks.

A modernday Pride and Prejudice, where yes, the boys are musicians but not the sort you'd necessarily think of. Elizabeth is a college student and works at a Record Store, where one day a famous violinist and his unpleasant friend walk through the door.

A VERY long Tuesday in the life of Minerva McGonagall. With rampant Umbridgeitis, uncooperative Slytherins, Ministry interventions, an absent Dumbledore and a schoolwide shortage of Hot Cocoa, it’s a wonder she’s as nice as she is.

JPLE. James Potter has never loved those girls he used to go out with. He tries to remember the prettyeyed girl he fell in love with from his first train ride to Hogwarts. Based from the song I Will by the Beatles. My first fic! Rated T just to be safe.

Tonks has a special someone in her life, but who? Ron and Harry, sick of the speculation, dare Ginny and Hermione to come right out and ask. But the answer might be a little more than they bargained for. This is your official marshmallow fluff warning.

Nearly a decade later, she still can pull a story from him. It's the same story he's been telling all along. -Not nearly as good as the movie, and I'm both alarmed and appalled at myself for messing with perfection.

Annie overhears some librarians talking about decreasing the libraries hours from 24 hours to something more reasonable. The Greendale Seven, with the best of intentions, rally on different sides of the controversy.

AU, alternate ending, set Post-Walkabout. Marian is tired of being a pawn, and Robin is tired of waiting. Adventures with the gang ensue in an out of order fashion and never according to plan. Not compatible with "Husbanding England." COMPLETE.

Set 21 years after "Husbanding England." Robin, Marian and the old gang have moved on with their lives. They've settled down, had children, and restored peace and stability to Nottingham. But what happens when King John conspires against this tranquility?

Decidedly AU version of the season two finale. And a historically accurate version of events. Lots of adventure, tons of fluff, and rated T. Don't read it if you haven't seen it, unless you want to be spoiled. Complete! Will/Djaq Robin/Marian.

Marian drabble… no real pairing. Missing scene of "A Clue, No" season 1, episode 13. "From the manner in which a woman draws her thread at every stitch of her needlework, any other woman can surmise her thoughts." Honore de Balzac T for adult themes
